This section of Rune River is calm and the water more stagnant.  Small
fish swim towards you and then disappear into the twisting mass of
underwater reeds.  The river forks here to circle a small island and you can
climb up onto a woodland glade.  From the top of the embankment sounds of
the forest fill the air, birds and other forest animals chirp and titter,
creating a musical cacophony.
